How to be Married
Author: Jo Piazza
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0451495551
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
At age thirty-four, Jo Piazza got her romantic-comedy ending when she met the man of her dreams on a boat in the Galápagos Islands and was engaged three months later. But before long, Jo found herself riddled with questions. How do you make a marriage work in a world where you no longer need to be married? How does an independent, strong-willed feminist become someone's partner -- all the time? Journalist and author Jo Piazza writes a memoir of a real first year of marriage that will forever change the way we look at matrimony. A travel editor constantly on the move, Jo journeys to twenty countries on five continents to figure out what modern marriage means. Throughout this personal narrative, she gleans wisdom from matrilineal tribeswomen, French ladies who lunch, Orthodox Jewish moms, Swedish stay-at-home dads, polygamous warriors, and Dutch prostitutes. How to Be Married offers an honest portrait of a couple. When life throws more at them than they ever expected -- a terrifying health diagnosis, sick parents to care for, unemployment -- they ultimately create a fresh understanding of what it means to be equal partners during the good and bad times.

Book Description
At just five years old, Maureen Hancock discovered her ability to communicate with the dead. Descended from a long line of legendary Irish mystics, she was no stranger to the spiritual realm, but for fear of being misunderstood by her friends and family she kept the otherworldly messages to herself, eventually suppressing them completely. Maureen wouldn't hear the spirits again until she was in a near-fatal car crash.

Then, when tragedy struck on 9/11, Maureen was bombarded with messages from the spirit world. As each one made contact with her, she finally came to terms with her calling: to communicate with the deceased, assist the dying, search for missing children, and teach the living about life after death, all the while raising her children in her suburban home. Maureen Hancock is literally is the Medium Next Door, and in this book and through her stories of her encounters with the otherworld as well as guided exercises at the conclusion of each chapter, she offers the same comfort and wisdom she shares in her healing encounters and lectures about what is out there waiting for all who are open to its mysteries. . . .

True Stories of a Psychic Empath Medium

ISBN: 1490796657
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The US Review of Books True Stories of a Psychic Empath Medium By Triza Schultz Book Review by Carol Anderson, D.Min., ACSW, LMSW "I'm a clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, claircognizant, clairalience, and as a medium, I see and communicate with nature spirits, and also with human and animal spirits who've crossed over from physical death." "A delightful read of 300 pages, the author’s book takes us through the various lives of a psychic medium with all of the twists and turns that this involves. The author discusses her history and the family’s history of intuitive abilities throughout a number of stories. "Well-written and well-organized, the book not only explores the author’s experiences but also is an excellent teaching work regarding the meanings of such spirit connections as related to life on other planes of existence. These paranormal experiences reveal a candid look at a person's life and choices and how all of life and death seemingly connects. In examining her own wounds, especially her health issues, the author puts her own personal experiences into the field of examination for her readers. The variety of psychic/spiritual experiences is fascinating, and various stories will resonate in different manners for the reader. Honest, sometimes painful, but always in awe of the connectedness of life, the book is highly recommended." Book Overview of True Stories of a Psychic Empath Medium: True Stories of a Psychic Empath Medium contains some of Triza Schultz’s most fascinating stories of her spiritual and paranormal life experiences, spanning chronologically from childhood through to adult life. Triza’s first clearly remembered spiritual vision occurred at the age of five. Paranormal encounters continued into her teen years and beyond, significantly shaping her views about universal spirituality and why we incarnate into the physical form. Through life stories and excerpts from twenty-two years of journaling, the reader is taken on a magical journey to parallel dimensions with spirit guides, angels, deceased loved ones, past life episodes, as well as confrontations with the mischievous and a brush with the spiritual dark side. Triza encountered a major life change when she retired from a twenty-six year corporate human resources job in her mid-forties and moved to New Mexico. There she engaged in a deeply challenging journey through devastating physical disease that tested her belief in life’s purpose. She came through it all with knowledge of a great universal truth: we are deeply connected to each another, and love is the final word.
